My silence sat like feathers dipped in stone
A fragile weight of things I’d left unknown
It held me down where weary hearts are sewn
Too tired to rise too timid to be shown
Then you approached and everything felt light
Your warmth transformed my muted inner night
My silence shed its heaviness in flight
And wings emerged where fear had held too tight
You taught my quiet voice to trust the breeze
To lift itself with effortless degrees
My stillness turned to soaring melodies
A freedom carried through the open seas
So hold my hand when words refuse their might
When shadows try to keep my spirit slight
For in your love my silence finds its height—
And every whisper learns to take its flight
